I'd look at the list of routers that support OpenWRT or DD-WRT and
choose from that subset, if you want an off-the-shelf product.

However, you can build a router with more normal hardware with full
Debian (or Devuan) and add what you like.  I have an old Soekris myself,
though others might be more in fashion these days.

Keep in mind that SSH can do a SOCKS proxy itself and thus you might not
even want to go to the trouble of setting up OpenVPN on top of whatever
you have.
